    To answer your question: she electrified the base. She’s the reason McCain didn’t lose the popular vote by double digits. Amazingly, Obama and McCain were neck and neck right before the financial crisis hit, making an Obama presidency inevitable.

    She would have been a better VP than Joe Biden is being. Quite frankly, I think he might be schizophrenic.
